Internet Connection Sharing

Hi, I have exactly that same problem like Midnight-man. On second PC I haven't any firewall and some applications work, for example antivirus updater and ping command. But mostly programs don't work correctly (IE7, Firefox). When I set allow All on the host PC all works correctly. Of course I add connection between computers to Trustet Zone etc.

If ICS works when CFP is set to "Allow All", but not when it is  set  to "Custom", then it's a rules issue.

Can you please post a screenshot of your Network Monitor rules, along with  an overview of your LAN - number of PCs, IP addresses,methods of connection etc.

Cheers,
Ewen :-)

Hello .... i have the same problem, i'll try to explain well so i can get better help.
Setup:

notebook  <---> desktop <---> dialup modem
192.168.0.xxx <---> 192.168.0.1 (as configured by windows) <---> dynamic address

i'm using (or trying to use) ICS to have internet on the notebook, i'm also using dhcp to get things working on my notebook ... the problem is that even adding a trusted zone on 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255 on the desktop doesn't allow the notebook to get an address and connect to the desktop.
when i put CFP in allow all mode on the desktop and leave CFP with the default setting on the notebook (no trusted zone, the rules that come pre-defined) everything works fine (dhcp, file sharing) didn't try internet because i assume CFP wouldn't be protecting the desktop.
In my school, dhcp is used and it works fine, i didn't have to add any rules to the CFP on the notebook to make it work properly. I conclude that the problem is with the rules defined on my desktop computer (ICS host).
what rule(s) should i add so i can be protected and be able to use ICS, dhcp and file sharing properly?

Thanks in advance.
